Summary
AWS has launched AI Traffic Analysis dashboards for AWS WAF (a web access control list, or tool that filters traffic to web applications), helping organizations understand and manage AI bot traffic that now makes up 30-60% of total web activity. The dashboard provides visibility into which AI bots are accessing applications, their intent (like data gathering or search indexing), and traffic patterns, integrated with AWS WAF Bot Control's detection of over 650 unique bots.
